To be clear, no one is offended at this. It’s simply…bizarre! And so many individuals thought in order that, having had a day of suggestions, BioWare have determined to not solely pull the press launch saying the statue, however pull the statue itself from their on-line retailer as nicely. In a press release issued this night, BioWare say:
Hello all,
Earlier right this moment, we introduced the sale of our newest Mass Impact Shepard statue.

The best way we introduced it didn’t convey that correctly, nor does it give the second within the sequence the credit score it deserves.
Consequently, we’ll be pausing gross sales on the statue till we are able to share the bigger plan with you.
